Catching Up with Big Pink Bear

I originally bought that dress for Annabeth in yellow, but when I got it home I kept thinking about the blue one. I ended up exchanging it and I'm so glad I did. She was beautiful in it every time she wore it. I can't decide whether to put this or her Easter/dedication dress in a shadowbox. That is if I ever get around to doing one.

Eight Months Old

I had already done some 8 month pictures of Annabeth in this outfit and posted them on the other blog, but I did them over again today. I'd wanted her to wear black leggings with that skirt and hadn't found any yet. Now it's perfect. I could eat her up in this.

Annabeth, at eight months old...-You eat yogurt and oatmeal for breakfast, a veggie and a fruit for lunch, and rice and a veggie for dinner. (My sister just added "veggie" to the list of words she hates.)-You just learned to crawl. You're not fast, but you're all over the place with your creeping and rolling.-You're starting to fight me during diaper changes. You try to crawl away.-You were just weaned and now you LOVE your bottle. You drink Similac formula and you get three bottles a day. You get your first one of the day in the big pink chair.-You like Gerber puffs and teething biscuits.-You sometimes spurn the pureed food. I bet I don't have long. -You like peas and carrots. You don't have much patience for green beans and pears. You love bananas! -I've stopped putting headbands in your hair because your hair is too long. It's just long enough to hold a bow. -You are absolutely beautiful.-You love to be held and talked to.-You love getting a bath in mommy's big tub. It's very brief and you only get 2 inches of water, but you get very excited about it. You like to splash the water with your hands.-You would like to play with Jackson's cars.-You like other people, but you prefer your mommy.-You do pretty well in the church nursery.-Your daddy calls you Beauty. -You wear 6-9 or 6-12 month clothes. -You wear size 3 Cruisers during the day and size 4 at night. -You wake up between 7 and 8 in the morning.-You nap from 9:30-11:30 and then from 1:00-3:00.-You don't say anything yet, but you've started making a "b" sound. I'm working on "mama" with you, of course.-You still think your brother is hilarious, even when he's trying to shoot you like a slingshot in your jumperoo. -You are dearly loved by your family!

Cannot believe how fast she is growing it seems like Annabeth was just a few days old not to long ago can't believe but little seista is so cute I could just eat her up as well that dress that you have her in even makes her more adorable. She looks just like Jackson.Have a great weekend Love Carol

What a beauty Annabeth is! I love her Big Pink Bear--such a great idea. Maybe on her 1 yr. post you could post all 12 in one post!

And I love your list of things she is doing at a certain age, and her likes and dislikes. I tho't I would never forget a single detail of our daughter and son's younger years! I'm learning to write things down NOW!

Oh Amanda. She is so precious and beautiful. And I was thinking how much I liked that sweet little blue dress when you commented about buying the yellow one first. Good choice on going back and getting the blue!

Oh, Pink Bear and Baby Girl:) Love it:) I'm glad your chronicling the different stages with her on here. I think that parenting is overwhelming when you don't have a clue what you are doing, maybe even when you do have a clue what you are doing?:)Help us, Lord.

I love these pics! Look at her in her cute little outfit! And precious smocked dress! I'm a little nervous about having to "dress" a little girl this winter...ah! The whole onesies thing has been so easy up until now!!! I'm taking notice of how you other mamas dress your little ones!!!

Oh Amanda, the pictures of Annabeth are Great...especially the 8 months...just adorable.

I wanted to let you know that I found a site that turns your blog into a book, or at least they start the process, and then you can get it printed out at another site. The guy that offers it is a Christian,and the prices seem good. I thought I remembered you said you wanted to turn your blog into a book (I could be mistaken though). If interested just leave me know and I can get you the info.I will be using the service soon for my blog.

We don't know eachother but I do enjoy reading your blog and picking up cute little mommy tips. I love Annabeth's crib bedding and am expecting another addition to our family in July. Can you give me some details, like what brand it is, etc. I can tell you have very good taste :)

Besides a baby, what pregnant women get in return for surrendering their waistlines is nine months of thick, glorious hair. It’s a beautiful thing. However, when Baby is just a few months old (about the time Mommy is seeing hints of her returning waistline) it all falls out. Soon her face is framed by the re-growth—lovely inch-long hairs called baby bangs. This blog is named for that charming little phenomenon.
